What We Do
Information Management Systems (IMS)
Simply put, we develop, manage and host web applications for the management of business information, processes and knowledge creation. These are intelligent and interactive web-based tools for the provision and delivery of information.
Besides application-oriented systems we build regular websites but with the specific addition of content management built-in, meaning the content itself can be maintained and updated content as required and without the need for a retained external agency. The content management system (CMS) we build is bespoke. We code it specifically for you, to give you complete control over the level of interaction you want with your site.
Functionality & Performance
With our help you can create your own business software applications suited specifically to your needs and processes. No need to compromise on trying to use existing software, and contorting it with work-rounds and patches to bully it into submission. Alternatively use our existing applications as they come or let us tailer them to something more bespoke. See our gallery below for examples.
Platforms
Web applications can run on any device with internet access from the desktop computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. It means remote workers and those in the field would have the means to access the same information and to contribute to the central pool.
Software as a Service (SaaS)
This is a concept whereby business applications are hosted on the web and delivered over the internet to any web-enabled device. See Wikipedia for wider information on SaaS. This is what we do, develop software applications for delivery over the web.
